A Moo3 Reject

[Erax]

Aaron listens to his customers. Then he gives them what they ask for.

I suspect he also listens to his testers, which puts him ahead of 99% of the game companies out there (game companies in general, not just computer game companies).

Hey, let's look at the bright side - maybe the MoO license will become so cheap that a small, high-quality developer can buy it and make a halfway decent MoO 4.

With the reception that MOO3 has generated, we could each kick $5.00 into the kitty and buy the license outright!!!

It would make a nice birthday present for Aaron, wouldn't it? He could mount it on his wall like a hunting trophy...

Have you noticed how no one ever asks about the 'cheat codes' in SEIV ? Have you noticed how the opposite of that (how to make the AI smarter; how to make the game harder) generates so much traffic here ?

How is it possable that one guy, Aaron, working on his own can invent such a game as SEIV whereas a team of "motivated" people working at QS could only come up with a lame assed game like MOO3?

That's why you never see a statue of a committee.

Slick.

I think 5 dollars is over pricing that series, don't you think? Maybe 30 cents from the couch and a few paper clips....

Dredging up another interesting post from this thread's history :

Side question. Have computer games(PC) been getting steadily worse in quality, originality, and playability or am I getting old? There have always been bad games released, but it seems recently (Last 5 years or so) they have gotten much worse.

Check Greg Costikyan's
Game Design page. It's a bit too fast-paced for me but he comes up with a new theory every week as to why the computer game industry is going downhill.

The problem is that QS did not listen to its testers and did not listen to fans. They just decided to make a camel.
